	Some WW1 records are in Fold3 on Ancestry, but many aren't.
	Researching: Old genealogists never die.....they just lose their census.

	They may have done names, I don't have Ancestry myself so wouldn't know but I thought it was worth mentioning. Kath. x

	You could try any of these:- https://www.forces-war-records.co.uk/ www.ancestry.co.uk www.nationalarchives.gov.uk Remember that around 70% of WW1 records were destroyed in a fire so if you have looked on Findmypast and can't find them they probably haven't survived. Kath. x
